Body Structures 1: Learning Fundamentals of Architectural Structures through Haptic Exercises

In this video, I'll explain a basic, but profoundly effective method for learning about basic structural principles (equilibrium, loads, force flow, stresses, etc.) using human body. This video shows how certain poses with one's body can be enacted and diagrammed to reveal fundamental structural concepts. This lecture and lab occurs at the onset of the "Structures by Design" sequence I teach at Iowa State University.
